Selective Entry Programs

PublishingPageContent

At Redcliffe State High School, we aim to provide a remarkable range of academic, sporting, and cultural opportunities so that students can achieve our vision of 'Soaring Above and Beyond Expectations' at Redcliffe SHS (SABER) and celebrate their successes. This includes the opportunity to apply for and participate in Selective Entry Programs including Programs of Excellence and Academies.  Programs of Excellence allow Out of Catchment (OoC) students who live outside the RSHS catchment to apply and be offered enrolment at the RSHS.
